Default How to Help Problem Gamblers

It is very rare for me to encounter someone who I think has a problem with gambling and plays poker, but perhaps that is because I mostly play online.

Today I ran into someone I had previously played headsup. She was basically begging me for $50. This made me feel terrible; I won about $500 from her a week or so ago, which I realized must have been a huge blow to her.

I kept trying differnt ways to reach her, but nothing worked. All she cared about was getting money from me to gamble with. I told her to set deposit limits, I told her to think about her kids and family, I told her she is terrible at poker and will lose in the long run (yeah, that didn't have a good effect), I told her to read the Bible, I told her to go to some GA meetings, I told her to stop. Nothing worked.

What is the best thing to do in this situation?
